It's official! Hotel reserved, 100 mile registered, and well into distance/heat training.

I plan on riding the HnH100 this year. It will be my first time. My bike friends have ridden it and they say it's a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to it. Don't know if I'll try the full 100 or not...depends on how hot it is.

Hey Heidi! Good to hear from you again!

Happy to hear things are good with you!

Yea, I have debated going to ride or not. I can't see myself getting a hotel room again, and if I don't get a hotel room... I can't go. Driving 2.5 hours there, riding 75-100 miles and then driving 2.5 hours home... wouldn't be a wise decision.

So... I would love to do it... and take on the challenge again... but it's very iffy at this point.

I also wonder if I will be ready for it in time. This year I have really been focused on my triathlon stuff... so I kind of training geared towards my upcoming races. I don't know if I can get the long rides in that I need before the ride.

We did have a great time though and you totally saved my butt the last half of the ride. That headwind was brutal and without you, we would have been going so much slower!

Hello Karen!
Sorry, it has been crazy with work and parenting in general! I haven't ridden much in the last 2 weeks, but have been on the treadmill more...I have heard that all the hotels are gone already, but I haven't looked into it yet. I would like to ride the hundred, but it would be fun just to ride in it again..I will look for rooms and let you know what I find. I would like to ride it, but I certainly am not as strong as I was last year ....Maybe we can suffer together again? I will keep you posted...AND whoever else wants to suffer along with us....

Not as strong as you were last year? Good! Then I can keep up with you!

Yea, we will see what works out. Sometimes in my cycling club people have rooms they need to pass on, etc.

That would be good....I am not having any luck yet finding rooms in Wichita Falls...I might have to stay in Vernon again, like last time...I should have known beter then wait this long to get a room! Lesson learned! Keep in touch...

By the way, who was dying on the side of the road a few miles from the finish line and you were goating me on? Maybe we helped both out ....

Heidi, I did a lot of leg work trying to find a hotel and I saved all the info. I'll forward you the availability I came across two days ago. It's pretty sparse inside the city limits.

Check your PMs.

If you want to pass me the info on Vernon I might get a room there. How far away is it again? Wasn't it like 30 minutes? Not too sure on that one. Hhhuuummmm.

KSH, myself and your group should ride together...Have you gotten rooms yet? How far are you from HHH? Last year it was 106, but well worth the challenge! Keep in touch...
